My Interviewing Skills Course

Understand what an interview is across casual to formal settings, including psychology, academia, scholarship, and promotions. Focus the course on the job interview, which can be intense and nerve-wracking.

Define what an interview is, from a formal consultation to a meeting for information exchange. The module focuses on the job interview.

Assess candidates by focusing on you as the candidate, the panel of interviewers, and the job you applied for. Prepare for a job interview as the next focus area.

Learn how the candidate convinces the panel they are the best fit by understanding the job, researching the organization, and presenting a strong first impression through key performance areas.

Develop self-awareness and clarify who I am to prepare for an interview, while exploring understanding human behavior and the psychology of communication.

Explore self-awareness in interview prep by framing 'tell me about yourself,' avoiding embarrassing responses, clarifying what the interviewer wants you to focus on, and articulating who you are.

Harness self-awareness to answer the who am I question by framing your story in the job’s context, presenting a chronological career journey, and guiding the panel through expected follow-up questions.

Explore how character, personality, and environment shape human behavior within psychological contexts, and understand how the mind and its processes explain why people act as they do.

Explore how human behavior shapes your personality through character and temperament, and how these traits influence interview impressions and behavior patterns.

Understand temperament as a genetic basis shaping behavior and its evolution into personality, which can be adjusted to environments; prepare for interviews by studying job ads to present sought personality.

Delve into the psychology of communication, examining verbal and nonverbal signals in the candidate–pundit exchange and how understanding these cues improves interview success.

Develop a strategic understanding of how verbal and nonverbal cues reveal thinking processes in interviews, and learn to align messages with body language to convey congruence and credibility.
